Philip Payne's argument from Colossians 3:16: all Christians should have a teaching ministry -- refuted
Mike addresses another egalitarian argument about women teachers.
Philip Payne interprets Colossians 3:16 ('teaching and admonishing one another') to mean Paul's prayer is that all Christians, women as well as men, will have 'a teaching ministry.'
